Hey the maid that I had at Villa Rosada while there and the Manager said their brother and nephew were really good and were or had been champions... their names were Jose-Luis Cirracio and his nephew..OMG forgot his name... does anyone know them? Are they that good? I know they came to teach us and they really stood out from the other people we seen.

Jose Luis is without a doubt one of the top kiters indeed. He rides for Redbull amongst others.

Thank you Werner

Werner,
Thank you for the info. Too bad my son will be in Cabarete from June 3rd to the 16th, he would have loved to see it.
You seem to be a good kiter, can you advise which is the best kite school in Cabarete.

The Kitelounge on Kitebeach.

Where does he stay?

By the way, some of the competitors are Dominican and some others are coming reasonable early to Cabarete. He will see enough to get inspired. ;)

He will be staying at our condo at Cabarete East Condominiums. He took 3 lessons 4 years ago but needs a refresher or probably all new lessons as those lessons never got him off the beach....

Then he doesnt need all new lessons. Just as you say, refresh his memory a bit, go over the safety system of the kite and he will be on the water in a hour.
Just send me a pm and I can hook up with him. I am a IKO instructor at The Kitelounge. He can also talk with Sven on arrival. Sven is the partner of Francoise (manager at Cabarete East) and is the manager of The Kitelounge.

Werner, do you (or anyone else reading this thread) know anyone who is a decent kite surfer, who would like to 'pose' for me one day when I'm there at the end of the month? My first attempt at taking kite shots were pretty poor but the last couple of times were much better as I'm getting a better idea as to how people take off etc. If I was able to discuss with someone before they went out what types of stunts they would do, it would help. I'd supply a copy of the best images, full size, for them in return. Able to do big jumps etc definate, able to speak English a bonus... able to consume a couple of Presidentes in the evening an advantage!

Alternatively, do you know this guy? He quite clearly knew he was being photographed and was happy enough because he kept returning to jump in front of me!

If he is local, please say 'thanks' from me and ask if he fancies putting on a 'planned' show!!

PS Pretty girls who can do big jumps and would like some photos taken would be the ideal!

Feel free to pm me or e-mail keith.fitton[at]manx.net (with 'kitesurf' in the subject line so my SPAM filter doesn't grab them).

Hi Keith

When are you coming here? Just let me know and hook up with me. I know a handfull of locals that are on worldtop level. As you say, they like to show of in front of camera's. I also know some pro photographers that can give you some tips I guess.

Thanks Werner,

I'll be there for a week, from a week on Wednesday (25th). Getting some shots of top lads would be great, as would meeting up with some pro-photographers... and of course, people who fancy a beer!

I've sent you an e-mail too.
